Yeah I was also in the line of allowing the engineers to operate it in the pit stops.  Second solution run double seater and have your race engineer onboard
 
I am really not sure about the technical skill of Lewis. Going by radio traffic past seasons I don´t know a driver that complained more about not finding the right settings lol

Awesome! Both solutions offer a built in penalty  In seriousness I like the pit idea, it would add a random element of uncertainty and increase the Driver / Team dynamic's tension.
 
Well truth be told both Lew and Flossy seem a little flustered over the complexity of the Merc steering wheel.What we do not get to know is just how the thing is programmed for every race. I suspect that switch mappings change for each locale and further suspect that this is what caught them both out at the new track with new data and a hurried update. The technologist in me says if you have two users experiencing the very same error, the tech is at fault. You either mis implemented it, made a technical error in its construction, or did not expalin and train enough.
Perhaps an onboard help menu would be an idea. I'd love to develop that software

....what about a built in Microsoft Clippy?

Dumas wins both Lemans 24 hour and Pikes peak....... Champion...  right there....

Almost forgot about F1 with everything else going on at the moment 

 
Never thought I'd see Button on the second row of the grid this season. Watch him go backwards at warp speed tomorrow though, sadly. Good chance for Hammy to make up a bit of ground on Rosborg.

 

[Big Kev]

I just hope Lewis can actually start his goddam car quickly tomorrow, hit turn 1 ahead and steam off.
 
Looking forward to going to Silverstone on Friday as well, although it'll probably chuck it down all day.

 

[oqvist]

Yeah he really do seem to struggle with the clutch a lot. Probably like me can´t be bothered with practising starts. Stupid though I always loose places as a result
 
I missed the qualification as well so much going on. btw do anybody know a decent streaming service that don´t totally rob you? I have to pay like 50 euro to watch a F1 race or 2 if there is 2 in a month and it´s just to much.
 
Preferrably not the Skysports stream they are so incredible biased they can´t see straight but must be english so guess it´s they or Fox? But can´t use their own services.

Wow awesome race! I watched it with my Rift in big cinema mode which made it even better.
 
Predictable ending but well this time justice was served straight away. 
So much I want to spoil but wont everybody should watch it

Yeah I won't spoil it either since you've set the precedent there 

 Really enjoyable race with a dramatic ending and I agree that justice was done!

Just read it. I'd like to see Wolff make that stick

Speak for himself I would like to see these guys race and crash every race. Who on earth likes team orders beside the teams themselves
 
But well the hope is completly gone now Red Bull and Ferrari could ever catch Mercedes this season. Impressive how Nico could dominate the race with a damaged car after starting 7th. Nice work by Button salvage a 6th place. Annoyed by Hulk the blocker. Manor catching a point so Sauber will for sure not gain any bonus money this season based on performance.  Despite Nasr actually making a good race but still not enough.

A lot is going to depend on how Bernie re allocates the money this year. I can hear the SCUD crying already

Its not for this year, they have contract till 2020. So all the talk is for beyond 2020 & it might happen things might not change but he gets good contract for himself, I see it as bullying tactics.

...here I am wondering if the next time Hamilton runs Nico out of room they'll penalize him. Not likely, and the Hamilton nuts think this is convincing evidence that proves his ability.
